| The New Richmond Elementary School staff added Ohio Department of Education's High Progress School of Honor to its resume. The school previously was named a School of Promise by the state. |
“This makes you an outstanding example of what is possible when students, educators, parents and community members work together believing that all students can succeed.”
“NRE is pleased to have been recognized by the Ohio Department of Education as a High Progress School of Honor,” said principal Terry Miller. “While we are proud of this achievement, we can never rest on past accomplishments as each year the bar is raised and expectations are high to continue to provide our students with the best education possible.”
New Richmond was the only school in Clermont County and one of 37 statewide to be named a High Progress School of Honor. Goshen High School was named a High Performing Schools of Honor.
Miller praised the effort of students, families and staff who contribute to the school’s success.
“We do thank the state for the pat on the back however and we will press forward to hopefully improve on the job we are doing,” said Miller.
